Key words: Clostridium perfringens‚ diarrhea‚ dog‚ hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. Introduction Enteric clostridial infection in dogs are life-threatening condition usually caused by Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium difficile. The pathogenesis of enteric clostridial infection requires two factors; the presence of these microorganisms in the intestine and a change in the enteric microenvironment. C. perfringens is a Gram-positive‚ spore-forming‚ obligately anaerobic‚ non-motile bacillus and

Objective: The main objective for this lab was to use the Bradford and DC Protein Assay in order to determine our concentration of E. Coli BL21(DE3) lysate. Principle of Methods: To accomplish this objective‚ each pair of lab partners received an E. Coli lysate sample which we had to thaw by warming it with our hands and centrifuge it. We extracted a total of 12 samples with known concentrations of bovine serum albumin and 10 samples of different amounts of lysate put into them. Using the different

A bacterial virus‚ named WO‚ was discovered to contain spider-like DNA. WO is a bacteriophage (phage)‚ a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It’s usual target is a bacterial parasite named Wolbachia. Wolbachia is found in 40% of arthropods and has recently been used to fight the Zika-carrying mosquitoes. Now‚ scientists realize they can use the virus to insert whatever gene they wanted into Wolbachia and then that would modify the mosquito from within. Animal genes were also found
